Psalms 21

1 Yahweh, ([I], your king am glad/the king is glad) because you have caused me/him to be strong. (I rejoice/he rejoices) greatly because you have rescued me/him [from my/his enemies].

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Yebo Thixo umbusi uyathokoza ngamandla akho. Kukhulu ukuthokoza kwakhe ngokunqoba akuphiwa nguwe!

2 You have given me/him the things that I/he [SYN] desired and you have not refused to do what I requested you to do.

Usumphile isiloyiso senhliziyo yakhe njalo kawumncitshanga isicelo sezindebe zakhe.

3 In answer to my/his prayer, you enabled me/him to succeed and prosper. You placed a gold crown on my/his head.

Wamemukela ngezibusiso ezinhle wamethesa umqhele wegolide elicengekileyo ekhanda lakhe.

4 I/He asked you to enable me/him to live [for a long time], and that is what you gave me/him, a very long [HYP] life.

Wacela kuwe ukusila, wamupha ubude bezinsuku kuze kube nini lanini.

5 (I am/He is) greatly honored because you have helped me/him to defeat my/his enemies; you have made me/him famous.

Ngokunqoba akuphiwe nguwe lukhulu udumo lwakhe; usumgqizise inkazimulo lobukhosi.

6 You will bless me/him forever, and you have caused me/him to be joyful in your presence.

Ngempela usumuphe izibusiso ezingapheliyo wamenza wajabula ngentokozo yobukhona Bakho.

7 Yahweh, you are God Almighty, and (I trust/the king trusts) in you. Because you faithfully love me/him, disastrous things will never happen to me/him.

Ngoba umbusi uyamthemba uThixo; ngothando loPhezukonke olungaphuthiyo akayikuzanyazanyiswa.

8 You will enable me/him to capture [MTY] all my/his enemies and all those who hate me/him.

Isandla Sakho sizazibamba zonke izitha Zakho; isandla Sakho sokunene sizabaxhakalaza abakuzondayo.

9 When you appear, you will throw them into a fiery furnace. Because you are angry [with them], you will get rid of them; the fire will burn them up.

Kuzakuthi lapho uqhamuka wena uzabenza babe njengomlilo wemvutho enkulu. Ngenxa yentukuthelo yakhe uThixo uzabaginya, umlilo wakhe uzabaqothula.

10 You will remove their children from this earth; their descendants will all disappear.

Wena uzabhubhisa izizukulwane zabo emhlabeni, inzalo yabo ebantwini.

11 They planned to harm you, but what they plan will never succeed.

Loba beceba okubi Ngawe besakha amaqhinga amabi, abangeke baphumelele;

12 You will cause them to run away [IDM] by shooting arrows at them.

ngoba uzabenza bafulathele babaleke nxa usubakhombela usulinwebile idandili.

13 Yahweh, show us that you are very strong! When you do that, while we sing we will praise you because you are very powerful.

Phakanyiswa, Oh Thixo ngamandla Akho; sizahlabela sibabaze amandla Akho.
